Trade Zone 174, requesting authority to expand its zone (Site 2) in 
Tucson, Arizona, within the Tucson Customs port of entry. The

4595, 2/5/91). The City of Tucson, Arizona, was designated the new 
grantee on November 22, 1996. The general-purpose zone project 
currently consists of five sites (398 acres): Site 1 (107 acres)--
Southpointe Park, intersection of Kolb and Valencia Roads; Site 2 (193 
acres)--Century Park Research Center, along Kolb Road between Valencia 
Road and I-10; Site 3 (70 acres)--within the Santa Cruz industrial 
park; Site 4 (25 acres)--within the Downtown Commerce Park, adjacent to

Kolb Road between Valencia Road and I-10, Tucson. This proposed 
expansion is located within the State designated Enterprise Zone and

had FTZ status prior to a relocation of certain space in 1996. The site 
is owned by the Levin Family Limited Partnership. No specific 
manufacturing requests are being made at this time. Such requests would 
be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.

Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
